TL;DR: An integrative conceptual framework for understanding spatial and temporal variations in landscape patterns in fragmented agricultural landscapes by presenting five postulates (hypotheses) which highlight the important role of historical, anthropogenic disturbance regimes.

TL;DR: Fencing is an important first step for conserving threatened grassy woodlands, but more active management may be needed to enhance woodland recovery, particularly in sites where few or no recruits were found.

TL;DR: In this article, a new technique for analysing the distribution of points on a network has been developed, called the network K-function (for univariate analysis) and network cross k-function for bivariate analysis, which was applied to point location data for roadside populations of three Acacia species in a fragmented agricultural landscape of south-eastern Australia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distinguish between four key components of land-change regimes: (1) frequency of landcover changes over a period of time, (2) the sequence of land cover types, (3) the time span over which each land-cover type extends, and (4) the magnitude of difference between landcover types.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected quantitative data on pre-settlement stand structures in Eucalyptus-Callitris woodlands in central New South Wales Australia, including: tree density, composition, basal area and canopy cover at the time of European settlement; and postsettlement changes in these attributes.
